Invent a greener and more secured mobility, thanks to solutions focusing on intuitive driving and reducing CO2 emissions. We are leader on our businesses, and recognized as one of the largest global innovative companies.
Would you like to shape the future of intelligent mobility together with us? Become part of our VALEO team and revolutionize the experience of autonomous and connected driving.
We are looking for YOU as Principal Discipline Engineer (m/f/d) for our location in Kronach-Neuses.
These challenges await you as:
Cloud Foundation & Landing Zone Architecture: Architect scalable multi-cloud landing zones (GCP & AWS). Own the Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) strategy to ensure the foundation is reproducible. Implement governance, multi-tenancy, and network topology that balances strict security with developer agility.
Enabling Solution Architecture & Go-Live: Blueprint cloud-native patterns for individual solutions, ensuring they are production-ready before Go-Live. Architect hybrid solutions bridging cloud services with physical hardware (HiL/SiL).
SRE, Ops, & Toolchains: Build the "Golden Path" for developers. Standardize CI/CD pipelines and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch). Implement SLIs/SLOs to transition teams to code-and-operate mindsets.
DevSecOps & Compliance-as-Code: Partner with the Foundation Lead to translate automotive regulatory requirements (ASPICE, ISO 26262) into automated pipeline checks and quality gates, ensuring security is baked in.
Technical Mentorship: Lead by example as a force multiplier for junior cloud engineers, setting architectural standards, conducting design reviews, and elevating the organization’s collective knowledge on distributed systems.
You inspire us with that:
Minimum 8 years of experience in designing and implementing enterprise-scale cloud architectures on AWS and/or GCP, with a proven track record in Platform Engineering and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
Expert-level knowledge of cloud and infrastructure technologies, including Terraform, Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), Docker, Helm, and AWS services such as IAM, Route 53, and CloudFront
Strong expertise in networking and toolchains, including DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, VPN, VPC, Transit Gateway, as well as CI/CD and observability tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenSearch
Hands-on experience in regulated environments (e.g., Automotive, FinTech, or MedTech) with a strong understanding of compliance-as-code, DevSecOps practices, and cybersecurity concepts such as OIDC, PKI, and Zero-Trust architectures
Excellent leadership and communication skills, acting as a mentor, modernization champion, technical evangelist, and analytical problem solver; experience with Automotive standards such as ASPICE and ISO 26262 is considered a strong advantage
